Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

After eating one, Wulang picked up another one and put it in his mouth, with a look of happiness and satisfaction on his face.

"Brother, what is this? It's really delicious."

Erniu tasted one carefully before asking Ye Changyan.

"This is the kind of candy that the milk processing workshop will make in the future. It's called Weihaojia Milk Candy."

Ye Changyan also finished the candy in his mouth. He reached out and touched the caramel-colored object in the mold. Finding that it had also solidified and cooled completely, he disassembled the mold and removed it from the mold.

On the chopping board, small caramel-colored cubes with uniform granularity were piled up into a small hill.

Ye Changyan handed one to Erniu and put one in his own mouth. Wulang, who was standing by, looked a little anxious and was busy chewing the second candy that he had not long ago put in his mouth.

Erniu felt her mouth watering, but it was accompanied by a sweet and sour aroma, as well as a refreshing milky flavor. Erniu's face was full of surprise.

Seeing this, Wu Lang chewed the candy in his mouth until it melted in no time, then picked up a piece from the chopping board and put it in his mouth.

"Mmm, sour and sweet, I can't stop drooling, delicious!"

"Wulang, you are the only one making such a fuss. Your father is asleep. Speak softly."

Ye Xiaozheng drank the yogurt and soon fell asleep. Lian heard Wulang shouting outside, so she got up and came out to check.

"Mom, try this, it's delicious!"

As he spoke, Wu Lang picked up another one and put it into Lian's mouth.

"Hmm, it's a bit sour. Hey, it's sour and sweet, and makes my mouth water. It also has a milky aroma. What is this?"

Lian asked, with a candy in his mouth, as his expression changed from surprise to joy.

"Mom, this is the second kind of candy that the milk processing workshop will produce in the future. It's called Weihaojia lactic acid candy."

"Mom, try this. This is another kind of candy. It's called Wei Hao Jia Milk Candy."

Wu Lang looked excited as he picked up a candy from the chopping board and handed it to Lian.

"Are both of these candies called Weihaojia? They taste different!"

I don’t know whether Lian only heard the first word “Wei Hao Jia” or whether these three words “Wei Hao Jia” were particularly easy for Lian to remember.

Erniu and Wulang didn't notice what was so special about the name "Wei Hao Jia". They were only focused on eating it.

Hearing Lian's question, Erniu and Wulang also became curious and looked at Ye Changyan.

"Wei Hao Jia is the name of this milk processing workshop. From now on, everything produced by this workshop will have the name Wei Hao Jia in front of it. It can be regarded as a signboard."

Ye Changyan explained to Lian and others, and they all nodded after listening.

"This is a great name. The candy tastes really good. It's very appropriate."

Wulang expressed his point of view, and Lian and Erniu nodded in agreement.

The mother and her sons wrapped the candies one by one with the oil paper prepared by Ye Changyan in advance, and stored them in ceramic jars.

Ye Changyan poured the remaining small can of yogurt into the filtered fresh milk, then put it back into the straw-lined bamboo basket and covered it with a quilt.

"Erniu, this small bucket of milk will probably be fermented by tomorrow afternoon. You can try it out and see if you can make milk candy and lactic acid candy."

"Okay, brother!"

"Sister, let me help you light the fire!"

The whole family laughed, then washed up and went to rest.

The next day, Ye Changyan went to Lai Chongde's pottery workshop to see the firing of samples.

Ye Xiaozheng and Lian were both standing by the kitchen, watching Erniu and Wulang making candies.

The village is also very busy.

The villagers led the rented cows to the mountains to graze. This was the first time for them to graze in the mountains, so everyone was very excited and talked and laughed along the way.

The villagers who rented pregnant cows carried baskets and sickles and went up the mountain to cut grass for the cows.

The young and middle-aged people in the village all took the initiative to help at the cattle farm and milk processing plant.

Wang Shun is indeed very capable. He made a reasonable allocation of personnel. Two craftsmen were paired with two or three young and strong people in the village. Not only was the work done quickly, but the quality was also guaranteed.

The villagers also boiled the milk they had squeezed today according to the method mentioned by Veterinarian Sun, and then brought it to the construction site to give it to the busy craftsmen and the young and strong men in the village.

Ye Changyan was very satisfied with the samples he saw in Lai Chongde's pottery workshop. After discussing the specific details with Lai Chongde, he returned to the village and saw a thriving scene in the village.

Amid the busy scene in the village, Ye Changyan would walk around the village every day to see how everyone was adapting to raising cattle, check the construction progress of the cattle farm and processing workshop, and ask Wang Shun about some specific situations from time to time.

Time passed quickly and today was the sixteenth day of the winter month. The sky was a little gloomy and the temperature dropped a little.

Everyone in the Ye family dressed up early in the morning and prepared to go out for the banquet with their gifts.

Zhong Yunfeng was still in the city doing business, but when he learned that the Ye family was going to a banquet, and Ye Xiaozheng was weak, and the weather was turning cold, he arranged a carriage in advance to pick them up.

Just after noon, the carriage arrived at Ye's farm.

When we arrived at Chu Garden, Liang Jingcheng and Lu Tingfeng were already waiting for us at the door.

Seeing that the sky was gloomy, Liang Jingcheng asked Zhong Yunfeng's carriage to go back first, and he would send his own carriage to deliver the child later.

When the group entered Chu Garden, they saw Mr. Cai sitting by the lotus pond fishing.

After a round of greetings and brief pleasantries, Wu Lang handed the gift box in his hand to Mr. Cai.

"Mr. Cai, I wish you good fortune like the long flowing water of the East Sea and a long life like the evergreen pines of the South Mountain!"

"Okay, okay! This kid is so sweet!"

Mr. Cai touched Wulang's head and praised him.

"Mr. Cai, how do you know I have a sweet mouth?"

Wu Lang's childish question made everyone laugh.

"I think you ate some candy secretly."

Mr. Cai also started joking with Wulang, but Wulang's face suddenly turned red as if he was caught by the tail.

"I just took one quietly."

When everyone in the Ye family heard this, they understood it all at once. Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng on the side were a little confused about Wu Lang's words, and then they saw Lian speak.

"You kid, you've already eaten so much at home, and you're still stealing this gift for the old man!"

After listening to Lian's rebuke to Wu Lang, Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng roughly understood the reason. Mr. Cai reached out to take the exquisite box from Wu Lang's hand, opened it and saw that there were candies wrapped very delicately in oil paper.

Mr. Cai laughed and grabbed a handful and handed it to Wulang.

"Hahaha, come here, kid, take it and eat it."

Wu Lang really wanted to reach out to take it, and secretly glanced at Lian, only to see Lian staring at him. Wu Lang was so scared that he quickly retracted his hand that had already been half extended.

"Mr. Cai, please eat this. This is specially prepared for you. There are two kinds of candies in it. They are both made by my brother himself. They are delicious."

When Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng heard Wu Lang say that the candy was made by Ye Changyan, a look of surprise quickly crossed their faces.

"Teacher, since this is a gift prepared for you, please try it."

As he spoke, Liang Jingcheng took the box of candies from Mr. Cai, took out a candy and handed it to Mr. Cai. Mr. Cai took it and started peeling it.

Liang Jingcheng also quietly picked up one and peeled off the oil paper. He saw a small milky white strip inside, and he couldn't tell what it was.

Mr. Cai also pulled aside the oil paper and saw a small square block that looked burnt yellow with a few sesame seeds on it.

The teacher and the student looked at each other and put the things in their hands into their mouths.
